GoHighLevel Skool Import Guide

If you manage communities in tools like ClickUp, Facebook, or course platforms and want everything under one roof, the GoHighLevel Skool Importer lets you migrate your Skool group into the GoHighLevel Communities feature with just a few clicks. This guide walks you step by step through setting up the import, mapping members, selecting content, and completing your migration safely.

The Skool Importer moves your group data from Skool into GoHighLevel so you can keep your community, content, and engagement in a single CRM and automation ecosystem.

What the GoHighLevel Skool Importer Can Do

The Skool Importer is built to copy specific items from your Skool group into a GoHighLevel Community. It does not delete or modify anything in your Skool account. Instead, it reads your existing group and recreates key components inside your sub-account.

Here is what the importer can transfer into GoHighLevel:

Community group structure and membership
Member profiles with names and email addresses
Posts and comments from your Skool group
Reactions such as likes on posts and replies
Onboarding questions and answers

The tool focuses on community features so that your members can continue conversations inside GoHighLevel Communities with minimal disruption.

Requirements Before You Start in GoHighLevel

Before you begin the migration, confirm a few requirements inside your account so the importer can access your Skool data correctly.

1. Active Sub-Account in GoHighLevel

You need an active sub-account where the new community will live. Ensure that:

The sub-account is already created and active.
You have admin or appropriate permissions to manage Communities.

2. Existing Skool Group

Make sure you have a Skool group ready to import:

You must be an admin or have full access to the Skool group.
The group should contain the members and posts you want to migrate.

3. Access to the Skool Importer in GoHighLevel

The Skool Importer is available inside Communities. If you do not see it, contact your account admin or the support team.

How to Open the Skool Importer in GoHighLevel

Once prerequisites are met, you can launch the Skool Importer from within your sub-account.

Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
Select the sub-account where you want to host the new community.
Navigate to Communities in the left menu.
Locate and click the Skool Importer option or button within the Communities area.

The importer wizard will open and guide you through linking your Skool group and configuring import options.

Connect Your Skool Group to GoHighLevel

The first part of the process is to authorize the importer so it can read your Skool group data.

Step 1: Authenticate Your Skool Account

Inside the Skool Importer interface, click the option to connect or authorize Skool.
Sign in to your Skool account when prompted.
Approve any access request so GoHighLevel can read group information.

Once authenticated, the importer will list the Skool groups associated with your account.

Step 2: Choose the Skool Group to Import

Select the specific Skool group you want to migrate.
Confirm the group name and member count to ensure you picked the correct community.
Proceed to the next step to configure what will be imported into GoHighLevel.

Configure What to Import into GoHighLevel

The importer typically offers options so you can choose which parts of your Skool group to bring into the new community. This helps you avoid moving outdated or unnecessary content.

Member Import Settings

Decide how members will appear in your GoHighLevel Community:

Import all active members from Skool.
Include member names and email addresses.
Map imported members to contact records inside your sub-account, if available.

Review member mapping settings carefully to prevent duplicate contacts and to maintain a clean CRM.

Content Import Settings

You can usually choose which types of content to copy from Skool into GoHighLevel:

Posts and their original authors
Comments and threaded conversations
Reactions such as likes on posts and replies

Some Skool-specific features may not have a one-to-one match, but the importer focuses on preserving the context of your community discussions.

Onboarding Questions and Answers

The Skool Importer also supports importing onboarding questions and answers so you can re-create your intake experience inside GoHighLevel Communities:

Copy existing onboarding questions from your Skool group.
Transfer member responses where supported.
Use this data to personalize communication and automation workflows.

Run the Skool Import into GoHighLevel

After you have configured your settings, you are ready to run the import.

Step 1: Review Import Summary

Before starting, the tool will typically show a summary:

Total members to be imported
Total posts and comments to be copied
Any features that will not be imported

Verify the details and confirm that everything matches your expectations.

Step 2: Start the Import Process

Click the button to begin the Skool import into GoHighLevel.
Keep the browser tab open while the importer runs to avoid interruptions.
Wait for the confirmation message that the migration has completed.

Import duration depends on the size of your Skool group and the volume of posts and comments.

Verify Your New Community in GoHighLevel

Once the import is complete, review your new GoHighLevel Community carefully to ensure that data has been migrated correctly.

Check Members and Profiles

Confirm that member counts are similar to your original Skool group.
Spot-check several member profiles for correct names and emails.
Validate that imported members appear as contacts where applicable.

Review Posts, Comments, and Reactions

Browse through the community feed to confirm imported posts.
Open a few threads to check that comments are attached to the right posts.
Check that reactions such as likes display as expected in GoHighLevel.

Test Onboarding Questions

Open the onboarding flow inside the community settings.
Verify that questions appear in the correct order.
Confirm that any imported answers are attached to the right members where supported.

Best Practices for Managing Your GoHighLevel Community After Import

After migrating from Skool, optimize your new community space so members can transition smoothly and stay engaged.

Announce the new GoHighLevel Community with clear instructions and login links.
Pin a welcome post explaining what changed and what stayed the same.
Set up automation for onboarding, reminders, and event announcements.
Monitor engagement and address any member issues quickly.

Using Communities inside GoHighLevel lets you connect engagement data with the rest of your CRM, funnels, and automation, creating a more unified experience.

If you experience issues during migration, such as missing posts or member mismatches, consult the official documentation and support resources.

Re-check permissions on your Skool account.
